YOU NEED PHILZ RECOVERY TO USE THIS, QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO USE THIS WILL BE IGNORED (FLASH THE .ZIP WITH THE RECOVERY)
YOU CAN'T USE THIS WHILE RUNNING ANDROID

Debloater for Sony Xperia E1

The following zip file removes every bloatware app that are using space and eating RAM.
Good If you reinstalled your phone, or updated your Firmware.

This script removes 100 bloatware total. There may be more bloatware apps, as I only used Russian Firmware, in my opinion It is the best Firmware which does not eat up RAM, or does not have any issues.

Removes .apk files and .odex files, no app will use .odex files If you remove the apps anyways

I managed to find all Bloatware apps on Xperia E1. (If not please tell me) More speed, and more Battery life!
Please hit thanks If it was helpful!

EDIT 1
-Fixed 2 incorrect paths for some bloatware apps
EDIT 2
-Added 3 more Bloatware (+4 Pre-installed app; Russian Firmware)
EDIT 3
-Added 3 more bloatware! (Thank you xezrunner!)
EDIT 4
-Fixed V3 Debloater (sigh, @Kizoky you dummy!)
Turn off your Wi-Fi during Sleep mode, because It will eat up your Battery. Use CPU Governer to control the CPU when the screen is off (optional)

|

Minus Settings, and USB app, You have 150+ RAM


Pre-installed System apps (After debloating)

The boot time drastically decreased, Starting from the Xperia Logo, It is usually 9-12 seconds until the animation turns darker
Note: If you sign into Google Play for the first time, immediately turn off the automatic updates!

What will be deleted?
-Update Center, All Plugins (FB, Twitter, Wikipedia, YouTube), Google Chrome, Settings wizard, Sony apps (exclude Walkman, Album, Video), Google apps (Games, Films, etc..), Sony themes, Sony wallpapers, Widgets, Data logging junks (Anonymous data for ex.), Other junk apps that eating RAM (RetailDemo.apk; ...)
File Commander is NOT DELETED (Good Bloatware app)

Workarounds:
-Album crashes everytime when setting a custom wallpaper (Download this and install it: https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2ONZFOkl3m7VzFxRzlkU0hkVk0/edit)
(I removed the Photo Editor app from the list, but If someone doesn't need it, delete it yourself, sorry) (I will edit the Permission for that If you want to delete it from Settings)

If you experience more battery drain than before, the main reason is because an app requests a function from the other app that is no longer exists on your phone
This will cause some apps call scripts/functions from an app which are using the CPU, and the result is faster Battery draining.
Trying different firmwares MAY fix this issue


Confusing Apps:
WALKMAN -- Shake control, can't disable
RetailDemo -- For local retail stores, can't disable

Performance Tweaks:
coming soon!

Debloater versions:
E1KKDebloater.zip -- This will remove everything that is useless, such as Sony apps, services, pre-installed Bloatware (exclude File Commander), System apps
E1KKDebloaterV2.zip -- Same as E1KKDebloater V1, expect that It will not remove Setup wizards, which is Factory reset friendly (Use it with FTF zip creator)
E1KKDebloaterV3.zip -- Final version (Blacklists ANTHal, Dummy apps, and apps that are needed for Factory Reset and etc. etc.)

Decrease the Battery drain:
Many apps has Wakelocks which will wake your phone from Deep Sleep mode, this means whenever you lock your phone It will drain your battery, just like when you use it regularly
To avoid this, flash the Debloater ZIP, and do a Factory reset (optional)
You need root to download Battery save apps, and "main" apps, such as Xposed.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
This link gives you a great tutorial on how to save your battery, combining this with my debloater It will decrease the battery draining

So what does the Debloater(s) do?
-Remove .apk and .odex files from app, priv-app, and etc folders
Nothing special, this thing just saves you a lot of time

2016: V3 is fixed now, inside the zip there was an another folder which you couldn't flash (D'uh!)

Wait a few min, I will upload It here, I'm still adding more apks

"I'm currently adding more apks to find out which are bloatware at the moment. If you know any app that are useless, such as services, please let me know, and with an .apk title, thank you!"
Oh, I saw that dude complaining about samsung S5.. I thought he made a mistake by using the .zip, so I wanted to flash the .zip myself and couldn't find it xD Sorry

the .zip file wouldn't do anything to his phone anyways. Maybe I will do a checker on the .zip file before people will use it, regardless If it is for E1 or not

Tried it, is amazing

It really did remove all the bloat, also removed the built-in "system bloat" apps, so I can remove their updated versions just like a regular app from the app drawer. So far, I only noticed the sound driver to load much faster and some apps open much faster. Nice job!

Looks like I broke the wallpapers. I'll find out why, and which app needs it
delete("/system/app/LiveWallpapers.apk");
I have a feeling that this might be the cause of the problem..
Edit:
I just flashed he .zip.. and everything seems to be ok..
Live wallpapers are deleted, and the wallpapers are ok..
The phone really is a lot faster!!
edit: Hangouts and drive app were still installed(probably because they were updated, so the updated version was not deleted, while factory version was deleted).. So I needed to delete them manually
Even with RAM consuming applications like facebook and messenger, my phone is still running smooth!

GOOD JOB (Y)

The problem is in the Sony Album app, It wants to open Photo Editor, which I deleted, and since there is no Photo Editor the app crashes.

Don't know why, but I don't have the problem with the Sony Album app, even thou Photo Editor is deleted..
And there is another bloatware app : File Commander
File Commander is a good bloatware app in my opinion. I always use that If I want to install apps from SD Card and vice versa..

EDIT:
Looks like the Russian Firmware version is using Photo Editor to set wallpapers. And because of this, Album app always crashes when you want to set a custom wallpaper. (Sony wallpapers are fine)
This can be fixed by downloading Photo Editor (google it; Sony Photo Editor apk)
